Wharfedale Pro DM-57 Dynamic Microphone: High-Output Performance
The Wharfedale Pro DM-57 is a rugged, high-output dynamic microphone designed to handle everything from live vocal performances to detailed instrument miking. Built to withstand the rigors of the road, it delivers exceptional clarity, a focused response, and feedback rejection for stage and studio applications alike.
At its core is a specialized DM capsule housed within a solid cast zinc alloy body with a heavy-duty steel mesh grille. Featuring a tight supercardioid polar pattern, the DM-57 yields outstanding off-axis rejection (>20 dB at 180°), isolating your sound source from ambient stage noise. With an impressive maximum SPL handling capability exceeding 135 dB, this mic easily takes on loud sound sources without distorting. For added control, it includes a convenient yellow short-throw ON/OFF switch, a silver pop shield, a gold-plated 3-pin male XLR connector, and ships complete with a premium 5-meter XLR-to-XLR cable.
